a justice of the peace, and Dr. Wil
liam C. Feagin.

SIRES CLOSE CO-OPERA
TION IN PROJECT
Co-operation between the city and
the county in the proposed establish
ment of a tuberculosis sanitarium
was inaugurated at a joint meeting
yesterday of the health committee of
city council, and a committee from
the board of Chatham county com
missioners.
The movement seeks to secure fa
cilities for hospitalizing both city
and county patients. At present the
Kiwanis Sunshne Unit for children
is the only local Institution for the
treatment of tubercular patients.
In the event any feasible plan can
be worked out, the move would be
financed jointly by the city and
county. The committees are to re
port their findings to ther respective
boards.
Establishment of the proposed san
itarium is being urged by the Chat

tion, as the crowded conditions pre
vailing at the hospital at Alto make
it impossible occasionally for local
patients to secure the proper treat
ment.

JURIST RESERVES
FINAL DECISION
LACHANCE CASE
.
JUDGE HESTER IS TO AN
NOUNCE VERDICT
TOMORROW
Judge Joseph C. Hester, recorder
pro tern., announced this morning
he would reserve decision until to
rr.ciTOw after heaving evidence in the
case of Emery LaChance, charged
with involuntary manshlaughter,
thereby running into the auto of Al
len Bunce and fata.ly J.uing Mr.
d »we’s mother, Mrs Dan M. Bunce.
Co-cufendant in th» case with Mr.
LaChance was V 1 ss Rosena-y Dewey
c ;;rec’ wth bexii s drunk in the Li-
Chpnre auto.
An auto being driven by Mr. La-
Chance and one operated by Bunce
collided head-on about 6 o’clock Sat
urday afternoon at the intersecton
of Monroe avenue and the Bonaven
venture road. Mrs. W. C. Oglesby,
633 Ott street, and Mr. Bunce’s moth
er were riding i nthe Bunce car. Mrs.
Oglesby suffered a leg injury. Mrs.
Bunce died as the result of hurts she
received in the collision, it was testi
fied.
Four attorneys appeared at the
hearing today to represent their re
shpective clients. Ernest J. Haar
acted as counsel for Mr. LaChance;
Marvin O’Neal for Miss Dewey;
Aaron Kravitch for Mr. and Mrs.
Olgesby, and Casper Wiseman for
Mr. Bunce.
Caunty Police Officers T. J. Ma
honey and L. S. Fillyaw investigated
the crash. They testified Mr. La-
Chance bore no evidence of having
been drinking and said they could
not detect the odor of alcohol on his
breath. It was generally agreed by
al lwho testified that the collision
happened after Miss Dewey had
jumped from the car driven by Mr.
LaChance in which W. A. McGuire
of Avondale was also riding.
LaChance said he was a newcomer
to Savannah and had just recently
opened a beverage and confectionery
stand in the neighborhood of the
scene of the accident. Miss Dewey,
with some of her friends had come
to his place an dthe young woman
named had been drinking and acted
in a disorderly manner, LaChance re
counted. He stated the woman's
friends departed without her and he
wanted to get Miss Dewey away to
restore quiet, LaChance went on.
The speaker said he and Mr. Mc-
Guire determined what they thought
was the home address of the young
woman and put her in a car and
started for this home. McGuier sat
on the back seat to keep watch over
Miss Dewey. It was testified when
the car was nearing the Bunce ma
chineg, Miss Dewey grabbed with one
hand at the handle of the back left
door and with the other at the back
of the front seat to brace herself for
a leap to the roadway. Instead of tlu
girl's right hand touching the back
of the front seat, it brushed against
the car driver’s head.
The glancing blow momentarily dis
tracted Mr. LaChnace’s attention,
Mr. McGuire said. The LaChance
car shot across the road and slammed
into the oncoming Bunce car. The
court was told that when LaChance
attempted to pick up Miss Dewey
who had landed on the road before
the collision, she slapped his face and
ran.
Miss Dewey’s counsel contended his
client was drunk but that she was
being taken away unwillingly by
Messrs. LaChance and McGuire. Miss
Dewey said she did not know where
she was being taken and she leaped
from the car because she was afraid.
